Pig Latin has always fascinated me—not as a joke, but as a creative tool. In my songs The Murmur In The Mural and Say It Sideways, I didn’t convert every word or follow rigid rules. That was intentional.

What I love about Pig Latin is how it hides meaning in plain sight. When used selectively, it becomes rhythmic, emotional, and almost private—like a thought you’re not supposed to hear, but do anyway. In The Murmur In The Mural, Pig Latin isn’t a gimmick. It’s woven into the melody where it feels right, where sound matters more than structure.

That’s the technique:

• Not every word needs converting
• Flow and cadence come first
• Use Pig Latin where it enhances mood, not where it interrupts it

Now I want to challenge you.

If you love Pig Latin—whether you’re a songwriter, producer, or just curious—I’d love to hear what you create. Write a Pig Latin song in any style, using any approach. Be strict with the rules, or break them completely. Let it be musical, strange, emotional, playful—whatever feels honest.

How to share your song

I don’t have a contact form, so here’s how to participate:

1. Visit either of my Pig Latin song pages on my official website
2. Leave a comment on the song page
3. In your comment, include:
   • A link to your Pig Latin song
   • A short note about your creative process and how you approached Pig Latin

This isn’t a contest. There’s no winner. It’s just a shared language, turned into sound.

Let’s see what happens when Pig Latin stops being a joke—and starts being music.
